So where do you take your propeller-driven land vehicle once you build it? To a Starbucks drive-thru of course!

The Starbucks staff were unsurprisingly amused and surprisingly cooperative. I once tried going through a drive-thru without a car and was denied (the staff even refused the idea of me in a shopping cart).

The group clearly had a lot of fun with the project. In fact, it almost seems they had more fun putting it together than driving it around. The actual driving seemed more of a relaxing activity after all the horsing around during the construction process.

This is the type of vehicle that makes us wish we all lived in a very warm city that had everything accessible a bike ride away. I know I would personally build a TriFly myself if it meant I could use it for all my driving needs.
